To begin with, I choose between Alesis Strike Zone kit, Yamaha DTX502 Roland TD-25KV, and Roland TD-17KVX e-drums sets. I had a chance to try them all except TD-17KVX. The reasons for choosing TD-17KVX are:

1. hi-hat is mounted on a stand, it gives more realistic feel when you playing. There is a little latency sometimes when using hi-hat pedal, but it doesn't affect timing. (hi-hat stand is not included). 2. The new bigger snare pad is awesome! it gives a more realistic feeling. 3. New improved bass drum pad, doesn't wobble when you are playing with a double bass pedal, doublebass pedal fits nicely! 4. The additional cymbal was a big YES from me. 5. The drum module is one of the best I had the chance to use. The additional Bluetooth feature is pretty useful when you want to play alongside your favorite tracks. Importing your own samples is easy. recording is easy, ways of doing that - MIDI cables, MIDI via Bluetooth(if you are apple user), MIDI via USB, 6.2 jack Mono, and Stereo. 6. This e-drum set is really compactible, not big, fits nicely in the small room, doesn't take too much space when packed.

the cymbal pols were different from the picture, without top adjustable metal part.

Overall, I would strongly suggest buying this e-drum set for everyone who wants to practice and cannot use acoustic drums in the place of living or who wants to record drums quickly and easily without too much of hassle.

I bought this drum kit as an alternative for my acoustic drum kit in my new home. After opening all the different boxes, setup went smoothly and the drum layout was flexible. I currently use a 1-up, 2-down tom layout. Even with the extra cymbals, the entire kit does not take up a lot of space. The build quality is truly Roland - built to last and sturdy as hell (even for a heavy hitter like me). The noise created by hitting the pads (including the bass drum pad) is relatively OK, as my neighbours haven't noticed me playing the drums.

The sounds coming out of the module straight out of the box are satisfactory. Some kits sound excellent, others are just average and remind me of much cheaper electronic drum kits. Composing own drum kits is a breeze and tweaking sounds is easy. The bluetooth connection is a major plus and works flawlessly.

I use the kit in conjunction with the Melodics software (around 100 euro/year). While the lessons for drums are relatively limited, the connection between computer and drum module works fine and the latency is minimal. Overall, it's a nice way to learn some new styles in an interactive and fun manner.

Overall this kit is definitely worth the price. It sits at an excellent price/quality point and includes new roland pads as well as technology. I would recommend this product to intermediate drummers that are looking for a sturdy and great sounding drum kit!
